The concept of time extending to infinity in both (linear) directions is fine. Classical science has a stopping point but only because classical science does not recognize events beyond that point to which math or any sort of measurement can be applied. The concept of time is then simplified from an infinite set of measures to ‘eternity,' time measurement being a function of the temporal universe from the big bang going forward.

The classical version of the Big Bang cosmological model of the universe contains a causal singularity at the start of time (t=0), where all time like geodesics have no extensions into the past. Extrapolating backward to this hypothetical time 0 results in a universe of size 0 in all spatial dimensions, infinite density, infinite temperature, and infinite space-time curvature.
